Below follows a joint statement on the progress of the EU-UK Agreement in respect of Gibraltar:
European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo met in Brussels on Friday 12 April.
The trial of a local man accused of storing over £3,000 worth of cannabis resin in his patio started this morning in the Supreme Court. James Yusifredo is charged with possession of the drug and possession with intent to supply. He denies both charges.
In response to last week’s statement by Opposition Leader Daniel Feetham, on public debt, the Chief Minister has insisted that since the GSLP/Liberals election to Government the gross debt has been considerably reduced from £520m to £450m, and set to drop further.
Friday evening played host to the second evening of performances as part of the Gibraltar International Jazz Festival, with local acts Levanter Breeze and The Soul Mates stunning the Queen’s Cinema’s audience.
Levanter Breeze afforded the audience a sneak preview of some tracks to appear on their next album, as well as playing a set of jazz-fusion tracks. The Soul Mates performed a repertoire of classic hits from a spectrum of musical genres including Soul, Pop, Rock and Reggae.
